bug#10740: 24.0.93; shell-command-on-region works via menu but not by keys

["Th. Rikl" <trikl@online.de>]

Thanks Chong for the response,

the reason for my bugreport was at the first look, a confusion about 
"bar" | and "brokenbar" ¦ which i didn't recognized until then.
My german keybord shows an brokenbar but emits a bar. I think its ok so far.

$ xmodmap -pke | grep bar # gives
keycode 94 = less greater less greater bar brokenbar bar

To create the keycord M-| i have to hold ALT (means Meta) hold AltGr to 
get the bar on german keycap <>| and even press <>| .
Examining this keycord with C-h k gives a reaction as if i had pressed 
nothing.

Typing a | in an ordinary buffer or on a linux-console works here. ???

With the help of xev I found that the keycord M-| emits nothing (in my 
configuration) so it may be no emacs problem.
